The attendance prize for the day, giren by Lion Harry W. Scott, was won by Clarence Smith. The 'day's attendance was un usually large, the meetings for the past two weeks having been merged with the Willamette For ward campaign, and so the Lions had no real meeting of their own until yesterday. Alleged Boy Burglars Before Juvenile Court The cases of six boys, Howard Hendrlcksen, Westley Kia, John Propp, Paul Ehmer. Wesley Put nam and Kenneth, Wetcher, charged with burglarizing Salem stores, were laid before Judge W. M. Bushey n the juvenile court yesterday afternoon. After a consultation behind closed doors, which lasted several hours, it was decided that a tem porary order be issued granting the six boys their freedom until further action. The cases, because of their complexity, are exceedingly hard to deal with, according to author ities. Three of the youths are di rectly implicated, while four ap pear to be only Indirectly involv ed. It is expected that some form of definite action wilt be taken Immediately after the Christmas holidays.

I managed to as cend a short flieht of ten to the broad veranda of a most cur ious but attractive log cabin, or ratner series of cabins, connected by 'covered passageways wittt each other, which extended along tne snore of the river. Here I sank down on a rustic bench, saved from ignominy, by the fact that almost' every other woman alighting from the canoes was undergoing the same exper ience. And. then for a few minutes all along the veranda could be heard the soft stamp ing of feminine feet as we tried to restore the circulation to our numbed feet and legs. Jim Pierce, the man named Tim, and the other guides were busy with their canoes. Some were fastening them in the cove where we had landed; others were taking them on through the narrow passageway I had noted.

"Say," he hailed an attache of the building, "can you tell me where I should go to lobby for a bill? l was sent down here to put a bill through, see; but this ain't the right place 1 guess." "What's the bill?" asked the attache. "Now that I don't know," con fessed the wobbly wight. "Fact is I've forgotf see; but it's a good bill, see; an it ought to pass. Say, do whatcha can for me, will you?" Then he bacame very confiden tial. "Say," he whispered, "I'm in a helluva fix. I've forgot which side o' the bill I'm on."
